I downloaded the Opensuse 10.2 beta2 i386 DVD using ktorrent. Unfortunately,
the md5sum of the downloaded iso image doesn't match the md5sum that is
listed on the server. That would indicate the download was defective.
Given that the DVD download is 4 GB and the chunks of the file come from so
many different computers, is the probability of the download being incorrect
somewhat high? I suppose there is some error checking built in. Just
wondering if people have been successful in downloading the beta2 dvd using a
torrent client. Would a torrent client other ktorrent be more reliable?
